About the Migration Agency

In Sweden, the Migration Agency is the authority that considers applications from people who want to take up permanent residence in Sweden, come for a visit, seek protection from persecution or become Swedish citizens.

Forms for family members of EU citizens and long-term residents of the EU

The forms open as pdf documents in a new window. You can complete the forms on your computer and then print them out and sign them. If you do not have access to a printer you will be able to print out the forms at a library or a Citizens Advice Bureau. Do not forget to sign the forms before you submit them.

Note that in some web browsers you might be unable to open the forms and complete them. You can then save them onto your computer and open them with a pdf programme such as Acrobat Reader. You can also try to open the forms in another web browser. If you open the forms in the latest version of Acrobat Reader you can also save the completed form.
